One Robot Per Kid
GRAPHIC PROGRAMMING mBlock is the best free graphic programming tool for children to learn creating interactive stories, games, and to interact with robots. It is based on Scratch 2.0 developed by MIT Media Lab, and support generating Arduino source code
ARDUINO COMPATIBLE The main board of mBot is designed specially for STEM education with the feature of intuitional color tag and RJ25 connector, integrating some sensors like light sensor, button, RGB LED, etc. On the basis of Arduino, it will be easy to expand with a wide range of sensors.
LEGO & MAKEBLOCK PARTS COMPATIBLE You can add the Makeblock and Lego parts to customize your robot, the only limitation is your imagination.
WIRELESS CONTROL Besides communication with robots through USB cable, the Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz solution for playing robots wirelessly within a larger scope will be provided.
Give me the ball!
I am Coming!
VARIOUS ROBOTS You can use mBot to build various robots like obstacle avoidance robot, line follower robot，football robot，robot cooperation

Sequential Structure: Sequential structure is the simplest basic algorithm. It starts form start point follow the sequence until the end, the right graph is an example:
DC Motor: Convert direct current

into mechanical energy. The control value range is between -255 to 255. When you set the value to -255, the motor will rotate counterclockwise in maximum speed; on the contrary, when you set toe value to 255, the motor will rotate clockwise in maximum speed.
Programming Logic The right graph is a sequential flow chart. When click the green flag, two motors' speed will be set to 255, wait for 3 second, then two motors will stop. This is the sequential structure.
